Dan and Susie,
I lived next door to your family in Kalamazoo circa 1975-1979. Danny and Susie, as I knew you then, were just young pups. I have thought fondly of your family over the years, and your mom crossed my mind just the other day. Ursula was kind to the young-hippie-mother who lived behind you, even if she did not completely "understand" her. I recall being invited over one Christmas to see Ursula's tree and it remains, to this day, the most breathtaking tree I have ever seen....
